Highly sought after DE from Temple with 2 years of eligibility left. Very productive 2020 season.
Yeah baby!! This is the one I've been waiting for! PFF has him rated right up there with Oweh. Definitely the best portal pickup so far

@psujoe I agree. This kid has some real potential beginning immediately. He was very disruptive for the Temple defense.
@lionbacker99 I heard they were pushing for two DE's in the portal, I can't remember what the other guy's name is right now
@psujoe Lots of rumors about the Illinois DE. Carney, I think? Were you hearing of someone else?
I like where they are picking up guys. Focusing on needs: DT, DE, CB. Nice mix in areas that will help us tremendously. The RB was a nice addition too, though I don't think we needed as much help there. However, always good to have depth considering we lost 4 or 5 RBs from 2019 to 2020.
@roaminglion I'm still not sure why DB is a position of need. Seemed like we were set for the next year or two unless maybe they're looking for experience.

Need in the respect what we were still young and developing, not a ton of depth when your starters are all freshman and sophomores. As for Castro-Fields, I have no idea what he will look like next year after the injury so I like bringing in more guys to compete.
